Tom Scott | This library has every book ever published. @TomScottGo | Uploaded 1 year ago | Updated 2 hours ago
The British Library is one of the six legal deposit libraries for the UK — and the only one that doesn't pick and choose, or have to ask for copies. That's a lot of books to store, and the internet's only making it worse. ■ The BL: bl.uk ■ UK Web Archive: webarchive.org.uk
This video has a correction: it turns out the formal interview requirement for a reader pass has been dropped. However, you'll still need to get a pass, and you're not allowed to take books out of the reading rooms! You can see all corrections on the channel here: tomscott.com/corrections
